PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[LangleyBlue1970]

Serious question. Say we get done and relegated or whatever, the verdict is in January. Would we finish out the season? Or no games until following august where we start in championship? Or how does it work?

We’d win the championship in half a season then rear our ugly, cheating heads back up in the PL next season ;-)

my boss just suggested we get clipped 40 points, mid season. I replied ' bit harsh that, we may struggle to get top 4''..

Imagine we go to championship and keep majority of our squad. Would be quite a fun season tbf.

Well its actually a win-win isn't it - being a glory hunter (although first game was in 1972, I only got my S/T in 2003) I've got loads of lower league grounds to tick off if/when we get demoted! So bring it on!

Just guessing here but from what Stefan has said we won't hear the result until near the end of the upcoming season and if it goes against us we'll appeal it.

I twist and turn on this whole debacle.

Ive mentioned before that i was in the company of someone who is deeply involved , on a city level, with the legal side and he was totally bullish and reassuring that we will win.
But the. I swing to ,’if its all bullshit how have the prem got this so very wrong in going after their best club , a founder member, so aggressively, if they werent sure they had a cast iron case!!

I guess we will soon know

Orthodox thinking before the UEFA case against us was heard...

"If it was all bullshit UEFA wouldn't be going after City to this extent. UEFA aren't some tinpot organization that would waste time and energy prosecuting City if they didn't have a cast iron case."

... we know how that turned out don't we?

Our biggest worry is that the 'Independent' Panel is anything but.

I try to not let this stuff effect me and I guess it doesn't most of the time.
But the fact that rags got a 75million helping hand from the pl. A PL were they vetted Masters who has now help them avoid ffp failure.
Everton, forest, Leicester failed ffp, Newcastle, villa sailing close to ffp. Yet rags the rules are changed and allowed to be 75million over ffp.

The pl stinks I believe City are 100% innocent and I believe that doesn't matter and City will be found guilty. The pl is so bent.
What puzzles me is why the clubs that are being screwed by the pl aren't getting together.

I know people will tell me it's the King's Council, but our justice system is full of wrong full convictions.

I trust City, CAS proved City had done nothing wrong.

I agree, it's massively dissapointing.

In the unlikely event that a team is directly relegated (I guess that would actually be regarded simply as an expulsion from the PL as it’s a single league) then their results would be expunged for the season as has happened in some of the lower leagues and the club seek admission to a new league for the following season. If it’s a points deduction then the team would continue to the end of the season however if it’s such a large deduction that it makes avoiding relegation impossible then it would be interesting.

All in theory of course as it’s not going to happen.
